John Ruskin was also a famous writer and poet. He wrote over 250 works, which tended to connect art history to topics ranging from science, literary criticism, environmental conditions, and mythology. He is well known for his essay on economy Unto This Last, the essay The Nature of Gothic, and the early fantasy novel The King of the Golden River.
Upon the death of his father (who was a wealthy wine merchant), John Ruskin declared that it was not possible to be a rich socialist and gave away most of his inheritance.
